I went to the phone store with my BB Curve in my pocket and walked out with an LG Android. I really thought I wanted it because it had the touchsreen like my Ipod and Ipad…I really wanted an Iphone but I refuse to do business with the big 3 as long as they keep ripping people off so I use Boost mobile which is Sprint’s prepaid network and is very affordable. Within 2 days I wanted my BB back. They wouldn’t give me a refund at the store (even though the phone was malfunctioning) so I traded it for the BB Style and this phone is SO Great! If you love BB it’s hard to use something else. Don’t kid yourself. I thought in the beginning I wouldn’t like the flip feature but this phone is compact and solid and has all of the grown up features that BB brings to the table. If you have work to do and clients to communicate with this is the kind of device you want. The Android I think is more for kids or people’s phone is more for fun than business. The vibration was weak and the notification sounds were weak and very limited. Not only that but BB allows you to set different sounds for all your contacts and email addresses etc. This LG didn’t. I love the BB because you know when you get a message or a call. Another thing, my Blue Tooth sounded like garbage on the Android and is great on the BB Style. I just got it all set up and used the BB desktop software to transfer all of my contacts and everything and am so much happier. This is a great phone and worth the 200 bucks.
